Hello everyone -- its Kristyn!! I’m so excited to show off my glamorous Snowflake Ornament for The Little Blue House 12 days of Ornaments Extravaganza! I had so much fun playing with all the bling and Shimmerz and I hope you do too!
Let’s get started-
First, you want to paint your paper mache snowflake. I painted mine with regular white craft paint. Let your paint dry or you can use your heat gun to dry it quickly if you just can’t wait.
After your snowflake is nice and dry, apply the Shimmerz paint “Pixie Dust” to your snowflake. I painted it on with a small paintbrush. You will love the sparkle it adds!
Now for the fun part! It’s time to add your Bling! I used the “Gemstone Glue” by Helmar to attach my jewels. It works GREAT! No icky sticky glue globs anywhere to be seen. But it’s important that you only use a little bit at a time. I started with putting a big jewel on all the sides then I used the glue and brushed it on and attached my jewels to the snowflake a section at a time.
Now, look at your masterpiece!! AWW!! But wait, we aren’t done yet!! Now I used a sticker from BoBunny “Bundled Up” winter collection sticker sheet for the center of my snowflake. I backed the sticker with a piece of chipboard and then popped it up with some Helmar Zap Dots to give it some dimension.
I did the back side as well and instead of a sticker I used a picture of my nephew, Kaden, for the center. This way it looks fabulous from both sides!
I hope you enjoyed my ornament today! Stop by the LBH to pick up a paper mache snowflake of your own if you would like to re-create it!
Make sure and leave a comment…You might be the lucky person who will win this ornament! By the way…I have a question for you to answer when you post your comment…
My question is… What was your favorite present you received as a child on Christmas Day?
I have a lot of favorites but if I had to choose, it would have to be when I was 9 years old and Santa brought me my own keyboard! Mom and I played songs together on it all day long! It was so much fun!! J
Thanks for stopping by!!! Don’t forget to check the blog tomorrow for the 5th ornament!
Before I forget, I have to tell you who won Susan’s cute snowman hat ornament!!

I love this ornament! I love all the lessons on your blog! Hope to see you soon!

Awesome ornament Kristyn! I cannot wait to see this one in person! It's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift of all time was a handmade cabbage patch doll that my aunt made me! Whew... does that date me or what!
I absolutely love this snowflake!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. My favrite gift from Santa was our sidlinger trampoline. My sister, brother, and I were awe struck when we saw it in our backyard Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteLove the bling!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas present was the Barbie Dream House!
my favorite gift was not a gift to me. One year I gave a friend a painting I had made. The following year her parents had it framed for her xmas present. But, it was such a gift to me.
ReplyDeleteMy fav present from childhood was my first CD player. I am a huge music fan so my own CD player was amazing!!! Thanks love the snowflake!!!

Krystn..it looks great. You know me if it sparkles and has gliimmer and bling I will love it. My favorite Christmas present was my little Tandy cat. One of my cats had gotten out and we never found him.Dan went to a rescue center the kids and I had volunteered at and picked out a new kitten for me.He brought it home on Christmas Eve as a surprise...it was the best because adding another furry friend to the house would not have been at the top of his Santa list. Thanks Krystn..
ReplyDeleteHey I have some of that shimmers...I can do this one....it is adorbale as all the others...my favorite Christmas gift as a chaild was my little brother...he always made it so much fun...
ReplyDeleteKristyn, thanks for sharing. Love,love, love the snowflake. My favorite Christmas gift was a Bride doll. I started dreaming about my own wedding from that minute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful snowflake!!! I'm showing my age, but my favorite Christmas present was an orange record player with a Donnie Osmond album!!! I was all of 6 years old & had quite the crush on him.
ReplyDeleteKristyn - I love this cute snowflake. Great way to add a picture to the tree!

This is adorable. My tree will look the best it's ever looked with all of this bling. Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, with the personalized ornament! One of my favorite childhood gifts was a CHATTY CATHY doll, which i still have today!(showing my age) lol
ReplyDeleteKristyn, your snowflake is soooooo cute. I love how you can put a pic in the middle if you want. Thanks for sharing!!! My favorite Santa gift as a little girl was my disco lighted stereo. All my girlfriends wanted to come to my house to boogie down to the 80's music.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite gift, hmmm I think a play post office when I was about 6. So much better than a kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI love this snowflake!! I think that my favorite present would he to be all of the countless American Girl Doll things. I had so many memories of playing for hours with my mom and making christmas outfits. =)
ReplyDeleteFabulous snowflake ornament!!! I'm going to have to make one for each of my kids : )
ReplyDeleteFavorite present: Santa brough me a TV for my room, and back then that was very rare!
ReplyDeleteLove your ornament, Kristyn!! Snowflakes are so cool @ Christmas because we don't see very many real ones at that time of year. Love the bling and the cute picture of Kaden!!!
ReplyDeleteThis will really date me, but I played with dolls before Barbie or the Cabbage Patch dolls had been created!! My favorite present was a ballerina doll by Madame Alexander. It was the only Madame Alexander doll I ever received. I just asked for a ballerina doll, not expecting to get one so pretty. I know it must have been
difficult for my parents to afford her because we didn't have a lot of money, but it is the one toy I'll always remember!! (Don't ask what happened to her---I had a brother 4 years younger with lots of boisterous friends and they got into my doll box when he was 10---it was a very sad day.)
Yall have just made my day!! Thank you so much to all of ya'll for commenting!!Congrats to my good friend Donna Thorn for winning my snowflake!! I love reading about everyones favorite gift they recieved for christmas:) I hope everyone gets something special this year too!! :)
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!! What a beautiful ornament. Thanks so much for choosing Shimmerz!!!!
